How to Make a Negroni

Negroni History

The Negroni is a classic light cocktail.

We believe that the drink was created in 1919 by an Italian bartender in Florence for Count Camillo Negroni (a French general) who wanted to strengthen his favorite cocktail – the Americano. The bartender did it by replacing the soda water with gin.

Negroni has been around for decades but it’s not as popular as it once was. The drink has fallen out of favor in recent years due to the rise of cocktails and other popular drinks like the Manhattan and martini.

The Negroni is still a great cocktail for those looking for something light and refreshing.
